Stage Six — The Execution (2:30 a.m.)

Oh, just shut up and move close to her before some other guy makes his move.

So, here I am standing beside her. Let me look at her one more time to see if she's still making some eye contact.

Sabrina: What does he want now? This guy is really starting to freak me out. All he does is stand there and drink his beer. I hope he's not a stalker.

Steve: Damn, she didn't look at me. What a snob. I have nothing to lose now; I may as well introduce myself.

"Hi, I'm Steve. What's your name?"

Sabrina: What a jerk. He didn't score all night and now he's coming to me like I'm the leftover. The nerve of this drunk guy.

"Hi, I'm Sabrina."

Steve: "So, Sabrina, are you having fun?"

Sabrina: "Actually, Steve, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but my friends are leaving and I have to go with them. It was nice meeting you. Bye."

Stage Seven — The Recuperation (3 a.m.)

Steve: I knew it, she's just another snob that likes to play with men's heads. Why would she smile at me if she wasn't interested in me?

The block

The problem with most men is that when it comes to actually approaching a woman, they wet their pants. The obstacle preventing them from talking to their primary target is the Wall of P.P. (Pride and Praise).

You see, most men give too much praise to a woman they hardly know. They get so intimidated by women that they freeze in their tracks. For heaven's sake, women are not super beings, they're normal people like all men. There is no reason for men to get all nervous around them.

Unfortunately, men turn talking to a woman into more than it really is. Most men think that they have to impress a woman, make her laugh, convince her to sleep with him or go on a date — and eventually marry him — all within their first line.

Obviously, this is impossible, so most men who believe they have no chance just give up altogether. They would rather remain alone than let their pride suffer the humiliation of rejection.

The other side of the wall

Believe it or not, as long as a man is respectful, most women are open to talking to a man who knows how to conduct a smart and interesting conversation without gawking at their breasts.

However, most women also have their guards up to protect themselves against men who are only looking for sex. Usually, these women assume that men who wait too long or until the last minute to approach them are the dangerous ones to watch out for.

The female belief is that if "he waited this long to approach me, it's because he tried with everyone else, and now he's moving on to me." In order to counteract this, a man must show that he is approaching a woman because he genuinely has interest in her. The only way to do this is to approach her right away and without being distracted by other women.

Rejection is part of the game; you need it to get better according to the Player...
